[Lady Kestrel]

My mother-in-law, never a great cook to begin with, got a little wacky in her later years and would use all kinds of substitutions in her recipes. Her most famous was a BLT made with Baco-Bits, canned tomatoes, and Miracle Whip salad dressing instead of mayo on day-old white bread. She swore nobody could tell the difference, but my poor father-in-law, who couldn't speak much after his stroke, always let out a big sigh when she put it in front of him. When he came to visit me, I always made sure he got real ingredients, and he would smile and wink at me as he took seconds.
